Description
Elijah called down fire from heaven, but then ran scared. Jonah delivered a terrifying warning to Nineveh, but then whined like a schoolboy. David was a man after God’s own heart, yet he arranged a murder and committed adultery.
How can we reconcile the heroes exploits of these men of God with their obvious flaws? Why doesn’t their stumbling humanity disqualify them spiritually?
The lives of these biblical characters carry a potent message for people who think they have to perform well or be perfect before God can use them: our weakness opens the door to His strength.
